[Shop-talk] (old ass) powered antenna question

[Matt Mahoney]

I don't know how the old Tandy stuff respods to too much voltage, but if 
it can handle the over-volt you will have very good FM reception. I had 
one of those years ago when I lived in a very poor reception area and it 
made very weak stations very listenable.

Good luck

Matt
